great mod... thanks for this update

i used previous version for a long time before, and just awaiting an update for 3.7.X


installed on vb 3.7.2 and is all ok, only a little thing to fix in profile section:
- when you set "no icon" or "no image" or "no name" in profile awards list, the linked column shift... and leave all black on the right, see image below




- and i would like an option to center awards in postbit (now is left-aligned)

and... i want make a BIG request : i need a sistem to assign Awards Categories on a section bases.
i.e. i want that an awards categorie is visible ONLY in a specific section (and his childrens), if a user has a award that is visible only in section A, and he wrote a post in a section B (that not is a children of section A), that award will be not visible in his postbit.
If the same user post inside section A (or inside a children section of A)... that award show up.
(sorry for my english, i hope that the example is clear)

I really hope that in one of the future additions, the option for giving each award a numerical value is available, so there can be somewhat of a total "score" based on the awards, difficulty, etc. (similar to Xbox Live gamerscores)

I'm just looking into this mod and it looks very promising. I will sure give it a try.

I was wondering. I saw you have multiple categories.
That is very nice, it gives the opportunity to add more competitions where people deserved awards.
But I also got the idea of turning one category into a rank category.
But... that would need a few things different:
- for a category of the type "rank" only the highest (display order 1) award (rank actually) should be displayed on user profile etc.
- in the stats who has the award only people for whom this is the highest award/rank should be shown here.

This way you have a system that follows who got promoted to which rank on what date.
Do you see possabilities to add such a feature?

Thanks for this SEXY hack guys, I really love it and do appreciate it.

There is only one error I get, when taking a look into the User-Profile.

Warnung: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/member.php(504) : eval()'d code (Zeile 131)

But i can see the Award and its all working well.

Issue is from MySQLi can this script be updated to support MySQLi properly as vbulletin does.

Also note that the award panel in the postbit is no cached.
